SOCIAL ClIQUES.
Why Mental Eminence Is Not Recognized
1t Ought to BE.


A baker who lived near the house in
Philadelphia once occupied by Edgar
Allan Poe was asked if he remembered
the poet. Surely" was the reply,
''Lanky fellow. Always wanted bread
three days old"
A similar answer was given to some
visitors to Salem by an old man who
had lived next door to the great
romancer who was born in that old town.
''Hathornes? Yes, l knew them root
and branch. Nat Hathorne? He was
born next door to me. | can't say
that ever took much account of him.
Queer chicken! Not much aalk in
him"
THE reason" says a shrewd OBJ
server, ''why no man is a hero To his
valet, is because the Wallets are not
themselves heroes.
1t requires the poetic instinct to recog-
nize poet, and the multitude must
have great purposes in themselves, or
great man can not lead them. The
Burghers ofBaireuth who regarded Jean
Paul as an ''Overgrown half-idiot," or
the cabmen of London who jeered at
Samuel johnson when he walked the
streets all night for lack of sixpence
to pay for his nights lodging, were not
so much to blame. 1t is the lion, not
the blind mole, that knows the true
prince, and if we do not know the
prince, why should we pay him homage?
In the present day, however, arbitrary
social lines more than lack of intellect
bar men from the knowledge of each
other, and hinder the mutual help which
they might give. One of the most
brilliant and helpful of American
women, the daughter and wife of men
of national reputation as statesmen,
lived for Il year in absolute solitude in
one of our American cities.
20 yes, we knew who she was" said
one of the village magnates afterwards.
But she lived on r street, and we
never visit any body who lives on T
street"
In every city and town. even in every
school, there are these intangible line
based on some fantastic fashionable
distinction. Men and women who carry
the strength and hel p which we need,
touch us in the crowd every day, and
are suffered to pass on because they do
not belong to our petty clique.
In every society there are necessarily
divisions, but they lie on the great plane
of human nature and human needs, as
do the temporary fences upon the solid
earth. The wise man knows when to
step over them. 1t was not people OF
our own clique to whom the apostle
babe Us open our homes and hearts, but
strangers; ''for thereby" he adds,
''some have entertained angels un,
awares. ."-Iouts's Companion.

ASSYR!EN TABLETS.
Valuable Testimony Gathered from Il
Libraries of Antiquity.

| Valuable Testimony Gathered from the
Libraries of Antiquity.
It is well known that the late Mr..
George Smith and others recently made
most extensive explorations and most
valuable discoveries in Assyria. Mr.
Smith unearthed whole royal libraries
| from its mOunds-libraric not consist
ing, like ours, of volumes of paper, but
of clay tablets, which, while the clav
was in soft state, had been written
upon with an iron pen, and then baked
| hard in an oven. Among these curious
old volumes we find accounts of the
Creation, of the Deluge and of other
events of sacred history, tinctured, as
we should naturally expect them to be.
by the natnre of the soil through which
they had filtered, so that they did not
correspond exactly with the Biblical
accounts, but yet corresponding suf-
ficiently to yield most remarkable
and most valuable cOrrOboration of
their testimony. We take up the fifth
tablet, for instance. Here is transla-
ton of seven lines of this strange
volume from the library OF King Assur-
banipal, from which the reader may
see that it is kind of heathen Genesis:
The moon He appointed to rule the night.
And to wander through the night until the dawn
of day,
Every month without fail, He made holy assem-
bly, days,
In the beginning of the month, at the rising of
the night.
It shot forth its horns to illuminate the heav-
ems
On the seventh day lie appointed holy day.
And to cease from all business He commanded.
Our quotation is FROM the translation
of Mr.. II. Fox Talbot. Now. the date
of this tablet is about 700 b. c. But Mr..
Smith. of whose eminence as an Assyri-
ologist it would be an impertinence to
speak, says: The present copies Of the
Chaldean account of creation were
written during the reign of Assurbani-
pal, B. c. 573-62S; but they appear to
be copies of much earlier accounts of
CreatiOn-works the date of the cempO-
sition of which was probably nearer B.
C. 1000. The legends, however, ex-
listed earlier than this, and were in the
form of oral teaching" Thousands of
years, therefore, before the Christian
era, it appears that the Sabbath was
known in Chaldea. This is not the only
Assyrian discovery which bears on our
page. ''In 1862" says Mr.. Smith in
his "Assyrian Discoveries" page 12),
Il discovered. among other things. Il
curious religious calendar of the Assy-
rians in which every month is divided
into four weeks, and the seventh DAYS,
or Sabbaths, are marked out as days on
which no work should be undertaken"

FORGETFULNESS.

I've forgotten all my Latin
And the Little knew Of Greek;
1 seldom know the day of the mouth.
Or yet the dag OF the week.
j can never remember names,
And | can't remember faces.
I've place for every thing.
But always forget the places.
] forget to keep engagements;
l forget TO catch the train;
Forget to take an umbrella
When there's every sign OF rain.
i forget 70 wind my watch,
forget to answer letters:
Forget the Presidents maiden name;
Sometimes forget my debtors.
or dates, and things like that,
I'm forever losing track,
And when borrow money
Forget 10 pay IL back,
In short, can I remember
The thousand things ] should, @
Because upon a single point
My memory's all too good.
'Tis this (and nauCht, know.
Can make a man feel glummcr),
i can't forget that girl met
And flirted with last summer.
